The Fourth of July is upon us and there will be a number of celebrations and festivals in the area to commemorate our Independence Day. I will be taking part in the Fourth of July parades in Siren and Webster on Saturday and will be participating in the Balsam Lake Freedom Festival parade on Sunday. Prior to the Balsam Lake parade, I will be speaking at the ceremony for the Deaver Addition to the Polk County Historical Museum.

Other area events include:

Parades in Wanderoos, Clam Falls, and Hudson

Fireworks in Amery, Hudson, Spring Valley, Menomonie, and Siren
